Hi all. I’m definitely a newbie this year, but I’m all “on-board” with the methods discussed here. I posted a few days ago wondering about how long the SLAM process might take. Quick backstory, opened the pool just over a week ago. Filled it back up. Water was cloudy. New sand in my filter, using a 1.5 Hp pump single speed pump.
I have had the pump running 24/7 since last Saturday. The water has lost all of it’s greenish color. Definitely blue now, and that’s good news, but it’s just cloudy for lack of a better word.
I’m following every step. Brushing a couple times a day, I’ve vacuumed a few times. Testing 2-3 times a day and adding chlorine as recommended by the app. To me the water looks better, but it’s just not clear. When I brush the bottom, it’s very hazy down there. Tried to take a pic, but the reflections won’t do it justice.
I’m just wondering if there is anything else I can do? I’m scared to see my electric bill.
Would the new sand in the filter be clouding the water? I backwashed and rinsed before I ever set it to filter.
